254 – God Already Knows What You Need

The Bible Speaks to You: Think, Pray, Love like Jesus

254 – Is it really true that God already knows what you need?
If that's the case, why do we need to ask God for anything? Why doesn't He just give it to us?
Well, sometimes He does, but usually it's important to ask because it reminds us that God is the source of all our blessings and we are not.
The question is: What do you really need?
Sometimes we get what we need mixed up with what we want and we end up praying for the wrong thing.
Based on what Jesus said and did, and knowing that he was giving people what they really needed, what does that tell us about what those needs were?

In this week's episode I go deep into what we really need based on what God sent Jesus to give us. We need:

• The Messiah, to show us the Way and be the Way of salvation
• To prioritize seeking God's kingdom and His righteousness
• Healing and forgiveness
• To know how to pray
• To know how to love our neighbors and ourselves
• The Holy Spirit
• The Bible
• And everything else Jesus gave us

How does the way God meets a particular need in a Bible story apply to you? Do you see any parallels?

The underlying needs of these folks thousands of years ago are pretty much what you and I need today.

God knows what you need. It may not be what you want or what you think you need. But God knows what you need, what you actually need, better than anyone else.
